Effect of a Ketogenic Diet versus Mediterranean Diet on HbA1c in Individuals with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: the Interventional Keto-Med Randomized Crossover Trial.

HbA1c was not different between diet phases after 12-weeks, but improved from baseline on both diets, likely due to several shared dietary aspects. WFKD was beneficial for greater decrease in triglycerides, but also had potential untoward risks from elevated LDL-C, and lower nutrient intakes from avoiding legumes, fruits, and whole intact grains, as well as being less sustainable.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic considerations of antibiotics and antifungals in liver transplant recipients.

Renally eliminated antimicrobials commonly present reduced clearance due to hepatorenal syndrome and the use of nephrotoxic immunosuppressants. Additionally, liver transplant recipients are particularly susceptible to multidrug-resistant infections due to frequent manipulation, multiple hospitalizations, invasive devices, and frequent use of empiric broad-spectrum therapy. The selection of appropriate anti-infective therapy must consider the pathophysiological changes post-transplant that impact the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antibiotics and antifungal drugs.
